<br>Subject: "...they met cute..."
<br>
<br>In today's New York Times review of "Kurt and Courtney," a film by
<br>Nick Broomfield about Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Janet Maslin writes:
<br>
<br>"From the dazed, scabby so-called friend who supplied Mr. Cobain with
<br>a gun to Ms. Love's bitter ex-boyfriend (they met cute when she threw
<br>a drink in his face) to the private detective who sees a James M. Cain
<br>plot in Ms. Love's rise to glamorous widowhood, the speakers here are
<br>united by suspicion and malaise."
<br>
<br>"They met cute" is a new phrase for me, but somehow vaguely familiar,
<br>in a "we were met on a great battlefield" kind of way.
<br>
<br>Does anybody know anything about this, or have other examples? Or is
<br>this an editing error?
